"Unless our conception of patriotism is progressive, it cannot hope to embody the real affection and the real interest of the nation."

Individual and Group Trainings
We offer training for potential and current candidates, campaign staff, and volunteers. Our modules come in three tiers and can be maintained throughout the campaign, to provide a dynamic, thoughtful, and long-term plan. Just as attorneys must periodically be certified as having adequate “continual learning education” in their careers. Candidates and campaigners should be no different. We'll keep you up to date on new tactics and strategies so that you can meet voters where they are.
